74 FIRST REPORT ON ECONOMIC BIOLOGY. 



Every course requires individual treatment, in the case referred 

 to, a change in the top-dressings, systematic cross raking, seeding, 

 light rolling, liming, and a richer food supply have resulted in a great 

 improvement, and if the recommendations made are carefully carried 

 'out, there is no reason why within a very few months the Greens 

 should not all be in excellent playing condition. 



In golf greens and bowling greens, delay in ascertaining the cause 

 of deterioration frequently demands, in the long run, expensive 

 measures, whereas taken in time some simple treatment would prove 

 effective.
